I have been working at AVID Technical Resources full-time (Less than a year)

Pros

I've been working at AVID full time and I am so happy that I decided to join this team! The interview process was pretty quick: had a phone screen and then was asked to come in for an interview and was offered the job a week or so later. During the period between being interviewed and after I was given the offer, there was complete transparency and communication between the manager and myself. I really appreciated that since I had another offer on the table and was going through deciding factors. They were nothing but patient and excited for me to join the team - as was I! All in all, it's a great place to get your foot in the door and really grow your skills while being in a friendly and hardworking environment.

This isn't your typical staffing company where it's cut throat and everyone steps all over each other. AVID is a genuine company where everyone is helpful and wants each person to succeed - no games.

Cons

I don't really have any cons except that the recruiting industry can be hard itself. If you're a hard worker, have an open mind and a willingness to learn and accept both success and loss - then this is the place for you. If you can't handle that, then this industry is not what you're looking for.

Advice to Management

Keep up the good work with the fluid communication between employees and clients!

Good place to work when you first get out of college, you work with nice people and it teaches you a lot about hard work, diligence, and really sets you up for a career past staffing and recruiting.

Cons

There isn't any opportunity for a career growth. This is true not only at Avid TR but throughout the staffing and recruiting industry. People who are young in their career like to see advancement and career opportunity, and there isn't much opportunity if any to grow here.There are long hours, they can pay off because you have uncapped commission, but there is slim to none in regards to working from home, vacation time, any sort of flexibility.The benefits here are terrible, no 401K match, you pay a ton and a half for health insurance, no cell phone reimbursement, 10 vacation days. You can find MUCH better benefits elsewhere.HUGE turnover at the company between offices being shut down, valuable people being fired, and people quitting on their own. There is a huge turnover in general in the industry but this was surprising.

Advice to Management

The "transparency" at Avid is non-existant. You keep everything behind closed doors . There's a reason why 2017 there was such a huge turnover. Employees like the feel valued, especially after the long hours and hard work they dedicate to Avid.

We appreciate hearing feedback from our employees and former employees. Ultimately, we do pride ourselves with not only being a great place to work straight out of college, but for those with industry experience or changing careers. This review is accurate in that we’ve built a team of people that is pleasant and fun to work with, while helping set them up for a successful career.

We’re always open to constructive criticism, however some of the cons referenced are just not accurate. For example, we do provide flex hours and remote work. While we do give 10 days of vacation PTO, we also allow 10 days of sick time off, thus providing our employees a month of PTO a year. We feel this is actually quite generous and above industry norm. We’ve also changed our healthcare plan in the past year to be less costly. As for our 401k plan, unfortunately we do not offer a match for the sole reason that we extend our retirement plan to all of our external consultants.

No company is perfect and we’re certainly always looking to improve. However, when it comes to transparency, we respectfully disagree with this review. AVID management works hard to keep an open, respectful dialogue with employees. We try to share information as it becomes available and we constantly ask for feedback and ideas for improvement. We pride ourselves in our transparency and go out of our way to communicate. We want our employees to know they are the most valuable aspect of this company. This has always been a priority for AVID management and it always will be.

We’re sorry things didn’t work out for you here and we certainly wish you the best in your future endeavors.... MoreLess

Pros

AVID Technical Resources is a great place to work. Everyone here has the same goal, to find the best candidate for the right job. All of this is based on our ability to listen to our candidates to understand what they want to do, which industry they want to work in, what culture best fits their talent and where they see themselves later on in their career.

Our leadership's dedication to instill AVID's core values of Hard-Work, Dedication, Communication, Honesty, Integrity and Passion really sets all of AVID's employees up for success now and further on in their career.

Cons

Tough Industry is really the only downside but having a work hard play hard mentality is what makes working in a tough industry worth it.

Flexible environment/hours, collaborative young culture, a ton of incentives/ fun activities encouraging the team to hit numbers, make calls, send e-mails etc... Everyone has a say which is great! We are provided the right tools to make sure we can all do our job efficiently and efficiently. Very different than other Staffing Agencies in a good way!

Good location, competitive comp, potential to make a lot of money! Generous PTO, Benefits 401k.
